It’s Football Season, Sort Of
Nothing signals the start of football season like watching Colt Brennan lead the Redskins down field against the Colts seventh-string defense in Akron. Speaking of the NFL, twenty four former Wolfpack players will don pads and helmet (or perhaps just clipboards) for their respective pro teams this year, including that guy who was surpassed by Brennan (and Brennan’s predecessor Timmy Chang) on the all-time NCAA passing yardage list.
Here’s the complete list, in spectacular alphabetical order:
Brian Clark, WR Buccaneers
Jerricho Cotchery, WR Jets
AJ Davis, CB Browns
Dovonte Edwards, CB Lions
Leroy Harris, G Titans
Torry Holt, WR Rams
Terrence Holt, S Panthers
Oliver Hoyte, LB Chiefs
Marcus Hudson, FS 49ers
Scott Kooistra, G Bengals
Manny Lawson, LB 49ers
Sean Locklear, G Seahawks
John McCargo, DT Bills
DaJuan Morgan, S Chiefs
DeMario Pressley, DT Saints
Lamont Reid, CB Broncos
Philip Rivers, QB Chargers
Corey Smith, DE Lions
Pat Thomas, LB Chiefs
Stephen Tulloch, LB Titans
DeMarcus Tyler, DT Chiefs
Mario Williams, DE Texans
Brian Williams, CB Jaguars
Adrian Wilson, S Cardinals
